About the Board of Trustees
 The
Board of Trustees consists of seven members elected
to serve, without compensation, for overlapping
terms of three years each. Elections
are conducted annually in May. While candidates run for
specific places, they do not represent specific geographical
areas; rather, each represents
Plano ISD at large. Following
the annual election, the board elects a president,
vice-president and secretary to serve for one-year terms.
